A quick look at our trip over to Miami with British Airways, upstairs in the A380 with our two children. We managed to reduce costs significantly by departing from DUB.

It works for me as I'm able to change my return positioning flight to leave from DXB and the timings are better.

      My CMB to DXB ended up being my best flight of the 4 so hope you make it. Likely to be a short distance between the gates and I had a welcoming party showing me where to go so you should be ok. Don’t take checked luggage of course. I’d still have a contingency up your sleeve. I had one eye on the LHR flight. Lastly, make sure you keep all boarding passes and etkts etc. - I’m still battling with BA for my outbound TPs.

      Do you take your own cutlery to restaurants? I think you have to trust the business to wash their dining equipment. Glass gives a more premium feel in my opinion. If this is a US rule then that’s different.

      If you have access to the CR then go to the CR I would say. But if you only have time for a shower then Bs are fine.
